I live in L.A.,what you speak of is a normal everyday thing,all day.

Throw in nobody stopping for lights or signs,a few bums,shopping carts,potholes that can swallow you whole,10 million cars,trash in the road,trucks,lots of trucks,60 miles to go from one end of town to the other,dodging this crap and more the whole way!

I don't even notice getting buzzed anymore.

If you live in Laguna CA,I won't even ride my bike on PCH downtown.I tour through there all the time and walk it through town.I aged about 10 years last time I road on PCH through there on the touring bike.
